From Dexter Township, Michigan, comes news that author Lisa Reardon has been arrested and charged with assault. It seems that she drove to her father's house and got off a round or two into his arse.
Chances are, Ms. Reardon will be busy defending herself and won't have much time to write another "redneck noir" novel for some time.
This is your chance, if you can fill Ms. Reardon's shoes (in a literary sense). Agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh of William Morris Endeavor just might have a slot for you.
Prove yourself and you won't get dropped when Ms. Reardon returns with yet another novel of incest, betrayal and such. It's a tough act to follow, especially when an author writes what she knows and her stash of knowledge includes shooting a family member, getting booked and sitting in a jail cell.
Still, it could be a chance to get your foot in the door at the biggest agency out there. Ms. Walsh awaits your query. Try to convince her that you'd be a better client, causing less problems.
Although it's hard to beat the kind of publicity that Lisa Reardon generated for herself by squeezing the trigger as her da made a run for it. Makes you want to read one of her books, just to get a sense of her experiences and what made her do it.
